The touch almost had her tense, but she knew by then where she was, and who was waking her. She has to mask a yawn, and while it's slight there is a head ache from the grogginess courtesy of her impromptu nap. The process is slow, but she managed to reach for the mug at least, and in spite of herself she sighed.
"The cocoa is enough... It seems that I do nothing but cause you trouble as of late. You're too kind to me."
It really was meant to be a comment about much more mundane things, but there was still something in the back of her mind. Something that she'd be better off not thinking about, not even to entertain the idea of what could have happened. Instead she made to blow over the mug of cocoa before taking it in. It did wonders to warm her up even in the bitter cold, and it helped that he was there with her.
"Just give me a moment, and I can work on the fire. You've been working hard, and... Well, you should have a hot meal, at least."
The words were odd, almost strained. Even after all that time, she had trouble saying what she meant, what she wanted to say. It was difficult to express admiration, care, and worry, at least with words. She tried to make herself get up then, setting the mug aside so that she could try to take the poker and tend to the fire. It was always easier to act, and it helped to distract her from the things she'd rather not acknowledge.
Though, it was hard to ignore just how dry her scales were getting. But that was something she could deal with on her own time.
"I just hope things get easier for you soon. I... It'd be troublesome if they didn't."
